PLOW.

SPEGIFIGATION forming part of Letters Patent .No. 665,078, dated January 1, 1901.

lApplication filed July 21, 1899. Serial No. 724,672- (No model.)

T0 at whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LUKE EsKEs, a citizen of the United States, residing at Washburn, in the county of McLean, State of North Dakota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Plows; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to plows, and has for its object to provide a construction which will prevent the breaking of the share from the landside and which will produce a plow having a long life and one which will have a light draft, causing it to cut straight out and preventing scuffing.

In the drawings forming a portion of my specification, and in which like letters of reference indicate similar parts in the several views, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a plow constructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the share and the landside, showing their mutual attachment. Fig. 3 shows the parts of Fig. 2 disassembled.

Referring now to the drawings, the plow comprises a share at and a landside e, which are formed from a single piece of steel, the share being given any desired shape and the point of the plow being drawn forwardly, so that the edge of the share will lie at a sharp angle to the ground. Upon the share and landside is welded a plate comprising a major portion 1) and a minor portion 0 extending at an angle to each other, and which angle is equal to the angle between the inner surfaces of the share and landside, the major portion lying against the inner face of the share and the minor portion engaging theinner face of the landside, and said major'and minor portions being of steel. Against the rear face of the major portion 1) of the plate a is attached a moldboard in the usual manner, and extending upwardly and backwardly from the share is an upright connected with the plow-beam.

The share'and landside d and e, which are formed integral, are welded together, after which they are hardened and sharpened and the plow is ready for use. Thus it will be seen that the share being formed in one piece with the landside and the minor and major plates being formed inone piece and welded to the share and landside an exceedingly strong construction is formed and one which cannot break at the welds in the act of plowing. Furthermore, when sharpening the plow the point of the share may be drawn out without breaking the weld between the share and a plate a.

It will be readily understood that I may vary the specific construction and arrange;

ment herein shown and described, and that I may apply my invention wherever it is capable of application without departing in any manner from the spirit of my invention.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is- As an article of manufacture, a plow consisting of a share and a landside formed of a single piece of metal lying at an angle to each other, a plate comprising a major and a minor portion welded against the rear face of the share and a landside respectively, and a moldboard secured to said plate.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
